Former Indian coach Ravi Shastri said – Virat Kohli worships Test cricket

Ravi Shastri On Virat Kohli: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri on Monday lauded the national team and captain Virat Kohli for embracing Test cricket and being the “ambassador of the format in the last five years”. Team India topped the ICC rankings after beating the World Test Champions after a 372-run victory over New Zealand in the final Test of the series in Mumbai.

After India’s win, Ravi Shastri said, “I think if any team has been an ambassador for a Test match in the last five years, it is the Indian cricket team. Virat Kohli worships Test match cricket.”

Shastri, who coached India for four years, told well-known author Jeffrey Archer on his podcast, “If you ask anyone in the team, 99 percent of them will say they love Test match cricket. That’s why India has played the last five years. What I have done, it remains as the No. 1 team in the world at the end of every year.”

Shastri listed the team’s achievements in Tests during his reign as head coach. He also talked about the one-sided defeat in the final match of the ICC World Test Championship against New Zealand. Also praised the Indian team for winning the series against England and two Test series in Australia this year.

Ravi Shastri said, “Even though we suffered a one-sided defeat against New Zealand in the final of the ICC World Test Championship, we have dominated the format for the last five years.”
